This tool can come in very handy when evaluating a turntable's performance.
Mechanics Stethoscope:
'Rumble' is one performance measurement often attached to turntables, and this tool lets you hear it...with your ears. Touch the tip on the plinth, chassis, spindle, tonearm bearing assembly...and you can hear the rumble.
As an added bonus: you can also hear noisy valve lifters in your car's engine, or bad bearings in...whatever.
